This is just a quick reminder of the PoetryWall
at the LBCC Library. Our library is sponsoring the space (next to the
Library Reading Room) and the materials (whiteboards and pens) and our
Poetry Club is providing themes and recording and archiving your
submissions. What we need is YOU and your "gaiety of language."
Consider it poetry improv and bring your classes. Or drop by yourself.
It's fun!!! This week's theme: Curiosity....
Here's a little gem from e.e. cummings:
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
while Spring is in the world
my blood approve,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
-- the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis

Hello Poets, one and all!
My apologies for the short hiatus over spring break, but I am back with plenty of news for you! First off: our hard work on the Ekphrasis project is finally being mounted to life! Please join us this Wednesday, April 3rd, in the South Santiam Hall Gallery from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. to meet the poets, photographers, and facilitators of this event! Our books will be on sale for $20, but if you're thinking of buying several books, you can get a deal for buying them in bulk here: http://www.blurb.com/books/4129291-ekphrasis
Secondly, we have another new project beginning to take place! In light of April Poetry Month, Bryan Myagishima from the library has mounted whiteboard poster board up on a wall in the library. The idea is that anyone can come to this wall and jot down some poetry! When the wall starts to fill up, I will be taking pictures of all the poems to later document here and also potentially for a paperback copy. The wall should be up any day now, so feel free to stop by the library and check it out!
Happy scribbling everyone!
